New Sneakers
« on: November 21, 2025, 08:48:09 pm »
Well, I finally reached a milestone with the '78 K10.

2.5" lift with Skyjackers. Came with Rancho Shocks, still have the Bilsteins, though need 'shock extensions if I plan to reuse them(?). Not sure there are viable products for this type of shock mount.

BFG finally released the K03 in 35x12.5x15.

Called last week to make appointment, asked about the Black Friday sale. No go with BFG.

Only to see BFG included with tons of other brands "THIS WEEK" UGHHH!

What's left is a paint job where the colors match.

Story: front fenders rusted from driving on the beach and not rinsing salt off (dummy!). Gave the paint shop a sample that they obviously missed. 

Have to say, the ride is smoother and quieter. Larger diameter tires roll over crappy roads better, tighter tread design helps too.
